1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and caused a search to be made in the record offices, where the treasure is stored in Babylon.
1 ENTONCES el rey Darío dió mandamiento, y buscaron en la casa de los libros, donde guardaban los tesoros allí en Babilonia.
2 And there was found in the city, in the palace, a volume, and this was the record written in it.
2 Y fué hallado en Achmetta, en el palacio que está en la provincia de Media, un libro, dentro del cual estaba escrito así: Memoria:
3 In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the holy house of God that was in Jerusalem, [saying], Let the house be built, and the place where they sacrifice the sacrifices. (Also he appointed its elevation, in height sixty cubits; its breadth [was] of sixty cubits.)
3 En el año primero del rey Ciro, el [mismo] rey Ciro dió mandamiento acerca de la casa de Dios que estaba en Jerusalem, que fuese la casa edificada para lugar en que sacrifiquen sacrificios, y que sus paredes fuesen cubiertas; su altura de sesenta codos, y de sesenta codos su anchura;
4 And [let there be] three strong layers of stone, and one layer of timber; and the expense shall be paid out of the house of the king.
4 Los órdenes, tres de piedra de mármol, y un orden de madera nueva: y que el gasto sea dado de la casa del rey.
5 And the silver and the gold vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar carried off from the house that was in Jerusalem, and carried to Babylon, let them even be given, and be carried to the temple that is in Jerusalem, and put in the place where they were set in the house of God.
5 Y también los vasos de oro y de plata de la casa de Dios, que Nabucodonosor sacó del templo que estaba en Jerusalem y los pasó á Babilonia, sean devueltos y vayan al templo que está en Jerusalem, á su lugar, y sean puestos en la casa de Dios.
6 Now, ye rulers beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and their fellow servants the Apharsachaeans, who [are] on the other side of the river, give [these things], keeping far from that place.
6 Ahora pues, Tatnai, jefe del lado allá del río, Sethar-boznai, y sus compañeros los Apharsachêos que estáis á la otra parte del río, apartaos de ahí.
7 Now let alone the work of the house of God: let the rulers of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build that house of God on its place.
7 Dejad la obra de la casa de este Dios al principal de los Judíos, y á sus ancianos, para que edifiquen la casa de este Dios en su lugar.
8 Also a decree has been made by me, if haply ye may do somewhat in concert with the elders of the Jews for the building of that house of God: to wit, out of the king’s property, [even] the tributes beyond the river, let there be money to defray the expenses carefully granted to those men, so that they be not hindered.
8 Y por mí es dado mandamiento de lo que habéis de hacer con los ancianos de estos Judíos, para edificar la casa de este Dios: que de la hacienda del rey, que tiene del tributo de la parte allá del río, los gastos sean dados luego á aquellos varones, para que no cesen.
9 And whatever need [there may be], ye shall give both the young of bulls and rams, and lambs for whole burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, oil—let it be given them according to the word of the priests that are in Jerusalem, day by day whatsoever they shall ask;
9 Y lo que fuere necesario, becerros y carneros y corderos, para holocaustos al Dios del cielo, trigo, sal, vino y aceite, conforme á lo que dijeren los sacerdotes que están en Jerusalem, déseles cada un día sin obstáculo alguno;
10 that they may offer sweet savors to the God of heaven, and that they may pray for the life of the king and his sons.
10 Para que ofrezcan olores de holganza al Dios del cielo, y oren por la vida del rey y por sus hijos.
11 And a decree has been made by me, that every man who shall alter this word, timber shall be pulled down from his house, and let him be lifted up and slain upon it, and his house shall be confiscated.
11 También es dado por mí mandamiento, que cualquiera que mudare este decreto, sea derribado un madero de su casa, y enhiesto, sea colgado en él: y su casa sea hecha muladar por esto.
12 And may the God whose name dwells there, overthrow every king and people who shall stretch out his hand to alter or destroy the house of God which is in Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be diligently [attended to].
12 Y el Dios que hizo habitar allí su nombre, destruya todo rey y pueblo que pusiere su mano para mudar ó destruir esta casa de Dios, la cual está en Jerusalem. Yo Darío puse el decreto: sea hecho prestamente.
13 Then Tattenai the governor on this side beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and his fellow servants, according to that which King Darius sent, so they did diligently.
13 Entonces Tatnai, gobernador del otro lado del río, y Sethar-boznai, y sus compañeros, hicieron prestamente según el rey Darío había enviado.
14 And the elders of the Jews and the Levites built, at the prophecy of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo: and they built up, and finished [it], by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of the Persians.
14 Y los ancianos de los Judíos edificaban y prosperaban, conforme á la profecía de Haggeo profeta, y de Zacarías hijo de Iddo. Edificaron pues, y acabaron, por el mandamiento del Dios de Israel, y por el mandamiento de Ciro, y de Darío, y de Artajerjes rey de Persia.
15 And they finished this house by the third day of the month Adar, which is the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
15 Y esta casa fué acabada al tercer día del mes de Adar, que era el sexto año del reinado del rey Darío.
16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of the house of God with gladness.
16 Y los hijos de Israel, los sacerdotes y los Levitas, y los demás que habían venido de la trasportación, hicieron la dedicación de esta casa de Dios con gozo.
17 And they offered for the dedication of the house of God a hundred calves, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, twelve kids of the goats for a sin offering for all Israel, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
17 Y ofrecieron en la dedicación de esta casa de Dios cien becerros, doscientos carneros, cuatrocientos corderos; y machos de cabrío en expiación por todo Israel, doce, conforme al número de las tribus de Israel.
18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their separate orders, for the services of God in Jerusalem, according to the writing of the book of Moses.
18 Y pusieron á los sacerdotes en sus clases, y á los Levitas en sus divisiones, sobre la obra de Dios que está en Jerusalem, conforme á lo escrito en el libro de Moisés.
19 And the children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
19 Y los de la transmigración hicieron la pascua á los catorce del mes primero.
20 For the priests and Levites were purified, all were clean to a man, and they slew the Passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
20 Porque los sacerdotes y los Levitas se habían purificado á una; todos fueron limpios: y sacrificaron la pascua por todos los de la transmigración, y por sus hermanos los sacerdotes, y por sí mismos.
21 And the children of Israel ate the Passover, [even] they that were of the captivity, and every one who separated himself to them from the uncleanness of the nations of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel.
21 Y comieron los hijos de Israel que habían vuelto de la transmigración, y todos los que se habían apartado á ellos de la inmundicia de las gentes de la tierra, para buscar á Jehová Dios de Israel.
22 And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with gladness, because the Lord made them glad, and he turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the works of the house of the God of Israel.
22 Y celebraron la solemnidad de los panes ázimos siete días con regocijo, por cuanto Jehová los había alegrado, y convertido el corazón del rey de Asiria á ellos, para esforzar sus manos en la obra de la casa de Dios, del Dios de Israel.
